Description synthétique Morphologie | Morphométrie

Épines dorsales (Total): 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 16-19.

Uncommon in most areas, but may be locally common in certain places. Usually attached to gorgonians or seagrasses but may occur in floating Sargassum or swimming freely in midwater (Ref. 9710). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Has been reared in captivity (Ref. 35409). Length type refers to Height (= from top of coronet to the tip of straightened tail). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128812.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves

Breeding season more than 8 months in laboratory; egg diameter 1.2 mm; gestation period 2 weeks, depending on water temperature; young approximately 7 mm at birth; pair-bonded in wild (Ref. 30915). Monogamous mating is observed as both obligate and genetic (Ref. 52884).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 24 - 28, mean 26.7 °C (based on 164 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00447 (0.00177 - 0.01127), b=3.00 (2.78 - 3.22), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Niveau trophique (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.5 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Generation time: 1.0 ( na - na) years. Estimated as median ln(3)/K based on 2 growth studies.

Résilience (Ref. 120179): Milieu, temps minimum de doublement de population : 1,4 à 4,4 années (Assuming annual Fec<1000).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (12 of 100).

Catégorie de prix (Ref. 80766): Unknown.

Nutrients (Ref. 124155): Calcium = 70.1 [33.4, 185.4] mg/100g; Iron = 0.894 [0.451, 1.624] mg/100g; Protein = 18.9 [17.7, 20.1] %; Omega3 = 0.203 [0.104, 0.388] g/100g; Selenium = 18.4 [7.4, 43.5] μg/100g; VitaminA = 35.5 [9.6, 134.4] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.29 [0.78, 2.04] mg/100g (wet weight);
